8. Counterpunch is deliberately lying.
They know those numbers are for ALL Veterans - Not just Iraqi/Afghan war Veterans. In 2005 there were a total of 24.5 MILLION Veterans.

Someone check my math........ doesn't that make suicides far under 1%? (Still too many and if we had proper VA care they could probably be cut quite a bit)
